Fan Expo 2014 Part 1
I once again entered the madness of Toronto's yearly Fan Expo this weekend. It began on Thursday evening, which is when I like to zip in, grab my pass and quickly check out the floor before things get crazy. It didn't take long to notice the changes from last year.
First, the experimental inclusion of Sports to the Expo must have been a sizable failure last year, as it was completely absent from this one. It seems like that would have been obvious - one just has to look no further than any high school in the world to see those two groups don't mix - but it wouldn't be the first time the organizers have made a bone-headed decision.
Another thing was that the Festival of Fear, the horror arm of the Expo was set up in the North building away from its usual digs in the South. This was likely good for them, in terms of exposure, as they were now close to the most heavily trafficked area of autograph row, but for those actually looking for it, not so much. As with last year, the commuting time between buildings was problematic, so it makes it difficult to limit the back & forth when the things you're interested in are spread out evenly across both.
Then imagine this times three.
I also noticed how much the popularity of certain things has increased. Gaming has obviously been a good chunk of the Expo since its inclusion in 2005, but this year was the biggest leap I've seen in several years. In addition to the large areas for Intel, Playstation and the like, there were also massive stages in the middle of both buildings for on-going seminars & game sessions for League of Legends and Starcraft 2. Doctor Who has been gaining popularity since its reboot about a decade ago, but it has now reached a fever pitch and was definitely the most represented icon of pop culture this weekend. I witnessed everything from remote controlled Daleks & K-9's to five-year-olds dressed as The Doctor.
Perhaps one of the more welcome changes was how much more substantial in volume Artist Alley seemed to be this year. I don't know if it was just more well laid out, but it felt like there were more artists at the show. I got to meet & talk with some great artists, including Paul Ainsworth, Matt Ryan, Andrew Barr and Sabrina Parolin. Please check out their links because they are all ace.
Poster art by Paul Ainsworth.
Stagefright "Monstar" by Andrew Barr.
Gary Pullin, my favourite local artist, was doing an artist workshop on Thursday, so I made sure to stick around for that. He talked about starting out at a commercial design firm, and then working his way into the art director job at Rue Morgue magazine. His presentation included a slide show of his work as well as some examples of what he thinks makes a good design and what doesn't.
Gary blew all our minds when he showed us the hidden profile of Alfred Hitchcock embedded in his fantastic Psycho print from a few years ago. It seems fitting he would do that, as Gary was the one who told me about the hidden face in the Halloween poster - an occurrence the original artist insists was unintentional - a few years back.
Can you see it?
The most interesting part of his talk was about his process. He was recently commissioned by a studio for an upcoming, high-profile horror release and presented a series of images which represented the back-and-forth between him and them. It was fascinating to see the concept evolve across the dozen or so images he showed.
Speaking of posters, I, not surprisingly, picked up a few myself. Within a few minutes of hitting the floor, I met up with Schwartz at the Hollywood Canteen booth, and then it was pretty much open season. Mike had a milk crate filled with vintage horror posters for like, ten bucks each. It was very difficult to walk away with just five.
Check back tomorrow when I delve into the many panels I attended this year. It was a banner year for these things and felt like the majority of what I did this weekend.

The Ra Contact Resource Series
The Ra Contact Resource Series offers a means by which inspired scholars and seekers may reflect upon the meaning of the Law of One and its rich potentials for application to our daily lives. Its objective is to assemble helpful resources from various authors in the recognition that comprehensive study of a philosophy as vast, transcendent, and inclusive as the Law of One will necessarily be a collective, multigenerational effort.
A Concept Guide is the inaugural book in the series. From Adept to Will, this guide offers a comprehensive study of 64 different concepts, each one carefully synthesized from all its occurrences throughout the contact with Ra. These pages are intended to serve as a humble aide to understanding some of the key metaphysical principles found within the Confederation's philosophy, and to contribute to the discovery of our truest selves.
This work, by no means authoritative, has been a labor of love. It is undertaken with the hope of supporting fellow seekers in the free sharing of their hearts and minds as together we plumb the beautiful mystery of the Law of One.
We don't yet have a system or criteria in place for selecting and accepting submitted works for inclusion in this series, but we would like to open with a general invitation. We are seeking outside authors who a) have made an intensive study of the Law of One (Ra Contact) and b) would like to potentially contribute authored material for publication in this series. If you have something that is offers a unique, rigorous, and in-depth look into the Law of One, please feel free to reach us via the contact us page.

News A 19-year-old's death became a 'turning point' for America's fraternities
A 19-year-old's death became a 'turning point' for America's fraternities
Mark Willingham December 12, 2018 Uncategorized
WHNT 19
By Erin Dunbar
(CNN) — Inhumane, cruel and tragic: Those are some of the words that have been used to describe the 2017 death of Penn State sophomore Timothy Piazza.
The 19-year-old died after consuming 18 drinks in 82 minutes and sustaining a traumatic brain injury during a campus fraternity's hazing rituals, court records and testimony show.
Now, nearly two years after Piazza's passing, many say his death has led to key changes in state legislatures and in the college Greek life community.
"The Piazza case is really a turning point to the extent that people know that fraternity hazing is unacceptable," said John Hechinger, author of "True Gentlemen: The Broken Pledge of America's Fraternities."
Four families that lost their sons to fraternity hazing — including Timothy's parents, Jim and Evelyn — began working in September with the North American Interfraternity Conference and the National Panhellenic Conference. Together, those two groups represent more than 90 fraternities and sororities in the United States.
The parents and the Greek life organizations have formed an anti-hazing coalition and now share a common goal: to pass legislation that would increase criminal penalties for hazing, and to increase education and awareness on college campuses.
"While we may seem like strange bedfellows, we all want the same thing: to end hazing so other parents don't have to experience what we have," Jim Piazza said.
So far, the Piazzas have spoken at more than a dozen campuses, directly addressing thousands of students and fraternity and sorority leaders.
"It makes more sense to work with them and have the opportunity to speak to fraternities and sororities and schools … and stop hazing in its tracks by the people who are perpetrating it," Evelyn Piazza said. "Why not stop it before it even starts?"
Rich Braham is another parent who's traveled to colleges and universities across the country to support the two-fold mission of education and changing laws.
Braham's 18-year-old son, Marquise, committed suicide in 2014, and the family believes it was because of alleged hazing while at Penn State Altoona. The case never resulted in criminal charges and the Braham family filed a civil lawsuit against Penn State, two of its employees as well as the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and two members of its local chapter. The Brahams have reached settlements with all of the defendants in that case.
The fraternity's national leadership objected to the suit's allegations in a statement last year, saying that "Marquise's tragic suicide had nothing to do with his involvement with the fraternity." In a statement, Penn State "disputes the family's characterization of these matters," but later told CNN, "Penn State Altoona looks forward to working with the Braham family in educating parents of prospective Greek life members."
On the campuses he visits, Braham wants to make it clear that these incidents can happen to anyone — and that there will be consequences.
"There was nothing special or unique about our kids. It was Russian roulette," Braham said. "We want these kids to know that it could be any one of them who dies from hazing. Then, if you don't hear the message, we'll lock you up! If you don't listen, there's a penalty. It could ruin your lives and future."
Referring to the case of Timothy Piazza, Braham vividly recalls that the fraternity's members waited more than 12 hours to call 911 after Timothy fell down a flight of stairs.
"Letting him suffer the way he suffered was just so atrocious," Braham said. "Tim's death was a galvanizing point. … It was like, 'enough.'"
This new coalition of parents harks back to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) campaign of the 1980s, said John Hechinger, who has reported on fraternities and education for years.
When Candace Lightner started MADD in May 1980, four days after her daughter was killed by a drunken driver, public health professionals considered drunken driving to be the No. 1 killer of Americans between the ages of 15 and 24. (The leading cause of death in 2016 for that age group was accidental injury, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
MADD's efforts helped reduce the number of drunken driving fatalities and change public perception of driving while intoxicated. Now, the parents in the anti-hazing coalition want to achieve the same with respect to dangerous pledging rituals, and they've made some strides on campus and with policy.
In August, the North American Interfraternity Conference, which represents 66 fraternities with more than 6,100 chapters across 800 campuses, declared a ban on hard alcohol beginning in September 2019. Under the policy, hard liquor — categorized as more than 15% alcohol by volume — will still be allowed if it is served by a licensed third-party vendor.
"Most of the deaths have involved hard alcohol; if a ban on hard alcohol can successfully be enforced, it could be a great thing," Hechinger said. "My view is that any step is better than none."
But Doug Fierberg, a school violence attorney who has represented many families who have lost their children to hazing, is more critical.
"No new policy is ever going to be better than its means of implementation," Fierberg said. "Virtually everything the fraternity industry does relies on 18- and 19-year-old men to implement it and make life and death decisions."
In October, the Timothy J. Piazza Antihazing Law was signed by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf. It gives tougher penalties for hazing, making it a felony if it results in death or serious injury.
For its part, Penn State is also developing a national scorecard to provide public information on Greek letter organizations, including alcohol and hazing violations and chapter suspensions.
At the time the Piazza law was signed, a Penn State spokeswoman said it came "in conjunction with the aggressive safety and related measures the University has implemented, (and) is another step toward our mutual goal to increase student safety on campuses."
"Penn State has been, and continues to be, committed to addressing this serious national issue," spokeswoman Lisa Powers said in a statement.
With its anti-hazing law, Pennsylvania joined at least 12 other states with tougher anti-hazing laws. But the long-term impact of these efforts remains to be seen.
Since Piazza's death, there have been other alcohol-related deaths at fraternities across the country. A number of headlines have emerged pointing to fraternities and local chapters being suspended for hazing and alcohol abuse. And even with all that, Greek life is still more popular than ever.
"On one side, we're seeing all of this apparent reform action, (but) on the other, we're seeing pushback from the student body," said Hank Nuwer, author of "Hazing: Destroying Young Lives." "As much good work as the Piazzas are doing, not everybody is listening."


A mother with borderline personality disorder may struggle with her relationship with her baby. She may not feel the way she thinks that she should feel about the baby. She may also find caring for the baby difficult. It can be very hard to cope when the baby is crying or distressed when you have trouble managing your own distress.
Having a mother with borderline personality disorder affects infants in different ways. If the mother's behaviour is 'frightening' for the infant or she has trouble responding to the infant's emotional needs, it is more likely that the infant will develop problems with emotions and relationships. Having other people take care of the baby sometimes can reduce these effects on the baby.


On the 26th August I got married to the amazing Katherine Shann, normally I use my blog to write about projects that I'm doing, but in this case I wanted to write a little about my wedding and subsequent honeymoon.
Originally we talked about getting married next year, but after agreeing that we would keep the budget relatively low, and hit upon the idea of getting married mid-week, we settled on the 26th August this year as the date.
On the day the weather held and whilst it was not particularly sunny, it didn't rain on us or our guests, and it wasn't too windy, so it felt warm and pleasant and wasn't too hot. So I was very happy that the weather had obliged somewhere in the middle of my various hopes.
As part of keeping the budget sensible, we limited ourselves to just 30 guests. This was very difficult to do, as it meant excluding a number of people that we would have liked to be there, but we needed to be very strict. However, having done so, I cannot imagine what it would have been like to have 2 or 3 times as many guests (as seems common) It was really nice with 30 to feel like I had time to talk to everyone with more than superficial passing chat. And it was still pretty tiring by the end of the day, even though we had a couple of hours in the middle to relax in our hotel suite getting ready for our evening meal. I would not have had it any other way, we had a great time, and got to really have fun with our guests without being overwhelmed by numbers.
Also the Mercure hotel in Salisbury did a great job, very professional. They gave Kat and her Sister the full red carpet treatment in the morning, even making sure people cleared their path and opened doors as they walked to the car. In the evening the meal rolled out perfectly and the food was great. So I have no hesitation in recommending their services, along with those of lamer tree gardens who also did a fantastic job making sure our day was perfect.
I had intended to write about the honeymoon, but I shall save that for a separate post tomorrow.

Last monday, I entered OT(operation theater) for the first time in my life. First of all, pre-entering to OT you need to change your cloth to hospital suit (scrubs =scrub suit). So, changing to that suit gives me a heaven feeling which I could not describe. You know what, with that scrubs I can pretend myself being a doctor there. And yea some staffs there did calling me doctor :p somehow I enjoyed that title for now on.
Back to OT first experience, I couldn't deny I felt anxious at first. Because I was informed by my colleague that day we would watching patient undergoes operation for his heart. There was some blockage existed inside his blood vessel (thrombosis) So, I could imagine the 'red' thing would play the main role for that day. Yuiksss.
Before the operation started, we needed to wear lead suit to protect our body from radiation. Because the operation involved with fluoroscopy machine, a x-ray movie machine (in simple words). The machine used to screening patient's body so that the medical officer could see the organ inside the body.
I just watched the operation from behind. 30 minutes early, everything was going smoothly. The patient was stable and the atmosphere was calming. I was focusing to what they were working on.
But, suddenly that patient collapsed! His bp (blood pressure) dropped. His ECG reading was not good. When MO (medical officer) called him, he did not respond. Suddenly, the scene I was watching at turned to a drama scene that I'd watched on TV. Everything looked tense and anxious.
'Cepat buat cpr. Cpr pt!.'-specialist beri arahan kat MO.
'Sediakan atropine'-specialist beri arahan lagi.
Tangan dia sedang berselirat dengan wire catheter.
Bacaan ecg pt sangat tak cantik. Bp drop. MO buat cpr kat pt.
'Nurse, on kan defibrillator'-specialist bersuara cemas.
Suasana jadi tegang seketika. Semua orang dalam ot nampak cemas.
Selepas beberapa saat kemudian, bp pt back to normal. Temperature stable. Bacaan ecg normal. Pt sedar semula.
"Encik, okey? Ada rasa sakit dada ke?"- MO tanya pada pt.
"Ok, cuma rasa tak larat sikit"-pt.
Semua dalam ot lega. Termasuk aku.
Alhamdulillahi ala kulli hal especially for the great experience Allah had given to me. I am blessed to be able seeing this miracle. Allah is the greatest. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life. Dr and teams, you did a great job!
Pengalaman yang tak mungkin SA atau orang lain rasai..cuma SA pernah temankan mak kat ward..sorang demi sorang patient meninggal depan mata..insaf..

Key Concepts in Public Archaeology
By Web manager / 20 March 2017 25 November 2021 / Community Archaeology, Heritage, Research Archaeology
Written by Gabriel Mosheska, UCL Institute of Archaeology
This textbook provides a broad overview of the key concepts in public archaeology, research field that examines the relationship between archaeology and the public, in both theoretical and practical terms. While based on the long-standing programme of undergraduate and graduate teaching in public archaeology at UCL's Institute of Archaeology, the book also takes into account the growth of scholarship from around the world and seeks to clarify what exactly 'public archaeology' is by promoting an inclusive, socially and politically engaged vision of the discipline.
Written for students and practitioners, the individual chapters – which can be read independently – provide textbook-level introductions to the themes, theories and controversies that connect archaeology to wider society, from the trade in illicit antiquities to the use of digital media in public engagement, and point readers to the most relevant case studies and learning resources to aid their further study.
This book is published as a 'living book' on UCL Press's innovative digital platform. The first nine chapters are published in February 2017, with further chapters being added over the following months, to form an ongoing and developing resource on this fascinating topic.

Restaurant manager schedule template, A scheduling template is a blueprint of your perfect day prepared in advance. It complies with a prepared appointment guideline based upon individual needs and history. The idea is very similar to"painting by number". Every possible or desired appointment is reserved in advance for up to one year at a time. Appointments are scheduled by imitating the principle then finding the next available appointment of this kind.
Regain control of your time. The greatest benefit realized is the return of control over how your day is scheduled. Everybody appears to want everything yesterday or last week. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to respond that fast, yet we are often forced to try. This is especially true if others are scheduling your appointments with no clear and specific set of instructions. A natural byproduct of the scheduling template is the evolution of a very clear set of scheduling instructions.
The formation of a strategy for scheduling is a massive benefit. According to this is a natural byproduct of the template. Once created, it is easily learned and followed permitting anybody to schedule an appointment by simply referencing the guideline. People can be taught quickly, it's easily understood so they can start scheduling immediately.
Incorporating personal desires with specialist desires is often challenging. In fact, it's typical for personal desires to be overlooked or skipped due to lack of time. A scheduling routine is a manifestation of personal and professional needs. When creating the template, both are coordinated so that the ideal day includes time allocated to reach both.
Eliminate stress and fatigue. The scheduling principle identifies all possible appointments including a list of all activities that can be completed within each and every one. Reviewing each appointment to guarantee the time allocated is adequate for the activity aids in removing problems experienced routinely before. The ideal day is constructed with the guideline to reserve each predetermined appointment eliminating conflicts through the day. Since they conflicts are solved in advance, tension and anxiety are reduced or eliminated. Take a look the sample of restaurant manager schedule template below at the attachment page.


Andy Cohen has spoken! He finally revealed his list of the top 10 most gorgeous gentlemen in Bravo history during his SiriusXM Radio Andy show Andy Cohen Live Wednesday, March 21.
Yes, Andy gathered up the most delicious collection of eye candy you'll ever see in this list, and it's sure to have Bravo fans talking. Andy's official list of the 10 hottest guys on Bravo, based on just physical attractiveness, is in no particular order and includes everyone from Housewives' significant others to SURvers to a Below Deck yachtie. Because we imagine that narrowing it down to just 10 guys was probably the most difficult thing Andy has ever done, he also included a list of the runners-up who are also incredibly good-looking. When it comes to dreamy dudes on Bravo, we have an embarrassment of riches, after all.
Check out the complete lists below and prepare for some "potentially very controversial" picks, according to Andy.

Export Mining
Minexx uses blockchain to export gold
ByJayden Bagshaw
Mineral supply chain tech company Minexx has exported the first kilo of gold tracked through a blockchain-based platform from Burkina Faso.
The company said its blockchain-based platform is designed to improve supply chain security and traceability, which it believes enables "banks, logistics providers, buyers and international financiers to engage with the sector."
Marcus Scaramanga, chief executive officer and co-founder of Minexx, said extracting critical minerals would become increasingly important as the world cuts carbon emissions.
This demand will lead to more pressure on sub-Saharan Africa and the global supply chain, making smart technologies more critical.
"It is more important than ever that we move with pace, leveraging technology to provide solutions to the challenges the world faces and to play our role in delivering benefits to all in the supply chain – from the artisanal miners through to the consumer," Scaramanga said.
"This breakthrough in Burkina Faso is another important step in this journey."
Burkina Faso, in West Africa, produces 34 tonnes of artisanal gold per year. However, only 300kg was formally exported in 2019 due to a lack of traceability and lower export taxes in neighbouring countries, Minexx explained.
The Burkina Faso government has now lowered the taxes when exporting through L'Agence Nationale d'Encadrement des Exploitations Minières Artisanales et Semi-artisanales (ANEEMAS), the government body for artisanal and small-scale production.
In November 2021, Minexx agreed on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Solidaridad, an international civil society organisation, to improve the gold supply chain in Africa.

Clinton Hangs On To 1-Point As Email Scandal Fallout Turns Toxic – IBD/TIPP Poll
Published: Tuesday, 01 November 2016 04:41
Hillary Clinton's edge over Donald Trump remained at 1 point – 45% to 44% – in a four-way race as Friday's latest revelations in the email scandal continued to shake the Clinton campaign, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.
This continues a three-day slide in the IBD/TIPP Poll for Clinton after FBI Director James Comey announced Friday that he's reinstating the bureau's investigation into Clinton's homebrew email server while she was secretary of state.
In just three days, Clinton has largely lost a 4-point lead. But not to third party candidates. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets just 4% of the vote, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 2%.
Unrounded data now give Hillary Clinton a 44.6%-43.7% lead over Trump in a four-way matchup, or less than 1%. Johnson stands at 4.2% and Stein at 2.1%. Meanwhile, in a two-way matchup excluding Johnson and Stein, Clinton clings to a 44.7% to 43.9% lead -- a mere 0.8 percentage point.
The poll of 1018 likely voters nationwide has a margin of error of just +/- 3.2 percentage points. On a weighted basis, the poll included 400 Democrats, 329 Republicans and 273 Independents.
Previous Days Tracking Results:
Just last week, Clinton appeared to be building an insurmountable lead in both the popular vote and the electoral college. But polling data show Clinton losing support among key groups, especially Independents, who now favor Trump by 48% to 33%. Independents make up a weighted 27% of those answering the IBD/TIPP Poll – more than a quarter of the vote.
As noted on Monday, regardless of party, well more than 50% of all voters have consistently said they expected Hillary Clinton to win the election. On Sunday, that number dropped below 50% for the first time, to 49%. It fell further, to 46%, on Monday.
The IBD/TIPP results comes as other national polls show the race tightening significantly. The RealClearPolitics average of 8 national presidential tracking polls now puts Hillary Clinton up 45.6% to 42.4% for Trump, a 3.2 point gap. As recently as October 17, it was Clinton 46.2%, Trump 39.1%, a 7.1 percentage point difference. Clinton has lost more than half her lead.
The email scandal appears to be taking a toll on Clinton's image. Some 42% of Americans believe Hillary is "honest and trustworthy," while 56% say she isn't. For Trump, 50% said he was honest and trustworthy, more than the 48% who said he wasn't.
Hillary Clinton's campaign isn't taking the poll shock quietly. Following the Friday announcement of the email investigation, Clinton and her top aides launched an angry attack on FBI chief Comey.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told CNN's "State of the Union with Jake Tapper" that the FBI's decision to reopen its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server was "an unprecedented action. It broke with policy of Democratic and Republican Justice Departments. It was done over the advice of senior Justice Department officials, and I think that the Justice Department has had a long tradition of not interfering in elections, coming 11 days before the election."
Podesta added, "it was long on innuendo, short on facts."
Taking advantage of the Democrats' email problems, Donald Trump continued to stump in Blue States, hoping to take blue-collar Democrat votes from Hillary Clinton in states that are Democratic, including Michigan, Wisconsin and New Mexico.
"I'm now convinced that we will be facing the very real possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and deleterious … consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election," Trump told a boisterous Michigan crowd, which reportedly repeatedly broke out in chants of "lock her up" during Trump's speech.
Meanwhile, the FBI is sorting through thousands of the newly found emails, a U.S. official said, suggesting that the new investigation won't be finished by election day. The Justice Department said it would dedicate "all necessary resources" to finish its investigation as quickly as possible.
The agency review of the new emails came about due to an unrelated investigation into former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide and confidante Huma Abedin. Weiner is being investigated for sending sexually suggestive pictures to underage girls.
"Thank you Anthony Weiner," Trump said to laughs in Michigan.

«Sport and Support» brings generations together – the third race in the Bike Tour in Tczew
31 октября 2019 /в Sport and Support /от Aleksandra Rzeszutko
September 21, this year, a group of 80 employees of Press Glass and their families representing together the «Sport and Support» campaign took part in the Bike Tour in Tczew for the third time as a part of the «Active Mobility Week». A large turnout at the start has brought the amount of PLN 2,000, which was donated to the treatment of two children.
From year to year, the campaign is becoming more and more popular among employees and their family members. The «Sport and Support» team represented a significant part of all participants of the Tour. Among the 80-member team, there were 26 PRESS GLASS employees and as many as 56 people from their families. People from a wide range of 3 to 60 years of age represented the campaign in this event.
The organizers of the campaign decided to set special conditions for the group bike tour. The final amount of money donated for charity also includes kilometers traveled by family members of employees of the company, who also represented the «Sport and Support» campaign in the above bike tour. The combination of the bike tour and the charity action resulted in the donation of PLN 2,000 to Karol Wojtaszek and Wiktoria Rebell.
«The bike tour in Tczew is not only an opportunity to integrate Press Glass employees and their families. For us, it is also a challenge to gather as many people representing the «Sport and Support» campaign as possible on the starting line. Why is it so important? The more of us participates in the bike tour, the more money goes to the treatment of the sick. I am glad that our «Sport and Support» campaign brings generations together with sports and charity,» says Miłka Furmanek, one of the coordinators of the campaign.

La Pócima Rose Gin is the premium gin of the XVI century Galician witches. We can detect very expressive juniper aromas; in the air we discover the most volatile orange and lemon aromas, with pleasant coriander touches. It appears with a clean and crystalline colour. At the palate, atlantic touches with coriander and juniper flavours with remarkable citric touches.
La Pócima Rosé Gin is the premium gin of the XVI century Galician witches. It has triple distillation, and has been elaborated in Galicia by distillation masters, using small copper stills.
La Pócima Rosé Gin was created mixing a combination of carefully selected botanicals that have been incorporated to a distillation of a high quality cereal in a slow process of distillation at a low temperature in order to preserve the aroma, the flavour and the nature of the botanicals.
The second distillation is made in copper stills where, previously, a wine of the variety albariño has been fermented, what gives to the product that Atlantic touch so different and pleasant.
After being several days at rest, the following step is the product hydration with the Galician water at 40ºC, and it is at rest again, before being bottled, and this allows a perfect mixture of flavours and aromas.
- The juniper and the angelica root, that are characteristically from the Centre of Europe.
- The orange and the lemon skin, add to the gin a Mediterranean touch in the flavour and in the aroma also.
- The African coriander give to the product its herbaceous flavour.
- The strawberries provide a striking color and freshness.
Taste it and discover the secret flavours contained in LA PÓCIMA!

Oh the swoon An intense emotional honest and functional romance that is full of feels and plenty of hotness This is the sixth book in the uantum series and the long awaited story of Kristian and Aileen – though it can be read as a standalone A gorgeous romance between a hot Hollywood Producer and a struggling single mother this is true fairytale romance with a bit of kink on the side dreamy sighThe uantum group are a bunch of Hollywood hot shots with their own production company – and their own sex club where their private needs are met One by one they are falling and now it's time for award winning Producer Kristian to claim the woman that he cannot stop thinking about Aileen was introduced earlier in the series She is the best friend of Natalie heroine of books 1 3 and when we met her she was suffering through treatment for breast cancer She is now in recovery from the disease and she and her two children have been embraced by the uantum crew and she is planning on making the move from NYC to LA to take up a job with them and to be closer to the friends she now considers family She is particularly keen to explore her attraction to Kristian knowing that with them both in the same city something is sure to happen between them The scene is set for an epic reunion between the two but Kristian has demons which initially have him keeping his distance There are secrets from his past which continue to haunt him and Aileen knows nothing about his BDSM lifestyle and need for kink She is a temptation he knows he will be unable to resist but he can't reconcile exposing those parts of himself to her and it has his head in a mess If she is an angel sent straight from heaven I'm the devil himself in comparisonI have to stay away from her and her precious children even if everything inside me calls out for her wishing I could let her fix what's wrong with me wishing she could be the one to chase away the darkness and fill me with her light But when they do see each other chemistry triumphs over all of those fears and their simmering attraction is finally given the opportunity to blossom as neither of them can resist their strong pull to each other It's sweet and passionate and so beautifully natural But while Kristian can't help but fall deeper for Aileen he still holds a piece of himself back scared of hurting her Everything about her is petite and delicate and fragile which is why I can never unleash my inner beast with her I'd break her in half And that just gives Aileen a chance to shine She has faced death and she isn't willing to put her life on hold any longer and I love that about her She puts herself out there not holding back what she feels what she wants and what she needs and she has no ualms about claiming her man I summon the courage to go for what I want Having cancer has left me less afraid than I used to be I'm painfully aware that life is short and we've got to seize the moment especially when the moment is lying in my arms hard and hot and sexy and so tormented "Time wasted is time we never get back I don't believe in playing games or mincing words" It's a really great dynamic Two people who are falling for each other so fast and so easily Kristian not allowing himself to go all in but Aileen not allowing him to withdraw from her Their openness with each other is refreshing Kristian's sweet loyal and protective nature is beautiful to see and Aileen's honesty and willingness to be everything that Kristian needs and her absolute faith and trust in him is gorgeous I'm not used to refreshing honesty from women I'm far accustomed to games intrigue cat and mouse and hidden agendas With Aileen what you see is what you get and I have a feeling I ain't seen nothing yet And of course it's all kinds of hot with Kristian and Aileen's intense chemistry and Kristian's kinky lifestyle leading to all sorts of sexiness kinky yes but nothing too extreme But the steamy time is a reflection of their feelings for each other and blends in really well with their developing relationship giving us an all encompassing love story that if full of swoon "You're making me fall so hard for you that my head is spinning The time I spend with you the I want The I touch you the I crave you I can't concentrate at work or sleep or do anything but think about you You're making a hot mess of my life It's the best feeling I've ever experienced Please don't ever take it away from me I'm not sure I'd survive it" And not only are Kristian and Aileen falling in love but her two young children are deservedly a big part of the story and I loved seeing them develop their own gorgeous relationships with Kristian as they started to come together as a family If I could spend every day for the rest of my life just like this – my arms around my children and his arms around me – I'd never want for anything But Kristian's demons are dark They are ones he hasn't exposed to anybody in his life and the secrets weigh heavily upon him And when the inevitable happens Kristian will need to learn to open himself up completely to not only Aileen but his close friends if he is to get through it "Come with me and let's face this head on so we can get past it and move on with the rest of our lives Hold on to me I'll never let you go" This is a really sweet story Kristian and Aileen are both great characters and I really enjoyed the way they came together The romance and swoon is gorgeous and the inclusion of the family element with Aileen's kids is really beautifully done The rest of the uantum crew all feature with a chapter from Flynn thrown into the mix to provide some story progression for him and Natalie and I loved catching up with them allAn easy read with very little angst few surprises and an ending that left me grinning hugely this one is all about the sexy sweetness and I really enjoyed it35 stars An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review

From the moment we were first made aware of Kristian's feelings for Aileen all the way back in Rapturous I was already craving their story and thinking I wonder how that'll play out A single mother of two who's battled and survived breast cancer catching the eye of the handsome Hollywood Producer? Already I was in love with this story before it was even fully written because I just knew that I wanted to see Aileen get her happy ever after and I just knew that Marie wouldn't disappoint in delivering yet another amazing funny sexy and sensual and loveable book And then I read this book And my God I was blown away From the first few chapters I realised right away that it wasn't just Aileen who deserves a happy ever after; in fact out of every character in this series it's Kristian who deserves a HEA the mostAs handsome and outgoing as Kristian is he's a man with a very bad and a very dark past one that no one knows about and one that's shaped him into becoming the man he is today a man who needs control because once upon a time he had no control whatsoever of anything around him But when it comes to Aileen he's powerless powerless to stop these feelings for her that only ever continue to grow the he sees her and even though he tries he just can't stay away from her He can see how pure and beautiful she is and as much as he does want her he doesn't want his darkness from his past to taint her; what he doesn't realise is that one of the reasons Aileen made the big move from New York to LA was because of him and after having battled and survived breast cancer Aileen is now fearless and ready to get what it is she wants and that's KristianThis book was everything Kristian was Whoa He was hot Hot HOT Both in and out of the bedroom he had my heart racing and when it came to learning about his past and everything he had to go through alone? He had my heart breaking And Aileen Well she did everything I was hoping she'd do for him she was there for him she held him tight she fought for him and she never let him go And I'll tell you what she surprised me too for many different reasons; when it came to her discovering about his BDSM I didn't know how she'd react but she left me speechless by how she did react and I've got to say that one scene they had together? In the hotel? After visiting the club? I actually went back and reread that scene because like Kristian it was hot Hot HOT And it's definitely the sexiest scene Marie has written in this uantum Series to dateTold in both their POV's Delirious is a book that from start to finish I was hooked to I truly adored Aileen and I loved how strong a character she is and she and Kristian together were perfect and with the added bonus and cuteness of Logan and Maddie? This book couldn't have been any better than it was We also get a chapter told in Flynn's POV and you guys you GUYS It was just one chapter but by the end of that chapter I was suealing and sighing at what it is I'd just read because OMG It was sexy and cute and had me wanting to go back right there and then and read his and Natalie's stories all over againBut all in all Delirious really was perfect It was both a heart warming and heartbreaking story one that ended so perfectly and with such a sweet happy ending that it's now my favourite book of this series And I'm glad that this isn't going to be the end of the uantum Series because I want Marlowe's story Scratch that I need her story; at the very beginning of this novel she says something that has stuck with me even now after finishing this book and with what it is she said I'm dying to know her story Same with Sebastian And even though we didn't get a lot of Emmett and Leah here I want their books too I just don't want the uantum Series to end yet and I seriously cannot wait for the next book to come

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and BooksThe uantum series is one that I've enjoyed Each couple brought a little something different into the family that has made up this erotic series Kristian and Aileen's story has been one that I've looked forward to the most After everything Aileen had been through she deserved a HEA And Kristian was the tortured kind of hero that I love But their romance almost felt rushed and it took away a bit from their overall storyAileen and Kristian have almost the same level of insta love that Flynn and Natalie had But where that worked for Flynn and Natalie over three books felt rushed in DELIRIOUS Kristian had a lot of issues Issues that won't go away because Aileen sat with him in his closet And given how the book started with his issues of inadeuacy rearing its head on a night he'd been looking forward to I'd expect a little hesitation on Kristian's part and the two of them really needing to work through what happened to Kristian Then there was Aileen's health They both had significant issues when it came to Aileen's cancer and they looked at those issues differently I would have expected this to be a major issue that needed to be worked through Add in the kids and I needed than the 248 pages it took to get through this story This doesn't mean it wasn't a great readit was But given the tough subject matter which almost rivaled Natalie's I wanted to feel confident this couple had truly worked through the issues that popped up in order to believe the HEA
Ismahane Ismahane	says:
This was a nice addition to the seriesSPOILERCan established pedigreed romance authors please stop trying to rewrite Christian Grey's Fifty Shades story I mean in this book the male leading character didn't only have the same subplot of the sordid past with a dead mother and a traumatic childhood but his freaking name was Kristian for God's sake Don't get me wrong this book handled that story much better than Fifty Shades ever did but it's been six years can't we just put this to rest please

nce again I'm jumping into a series after a boatload of books LOL It took a bit for me to catch on to who was who and who they were with but Kristian and Aileen's story stood by itself and was understandableI liked both characters but their self doubt especially Kristian just about killed me I get Aileen's reasoningshe's a cancer survivor and a single mom But his back and forth drove me battyI really liked the friendships shone between the uantum group Books that show such strong bonds between friends are always a pleasure to read
Natalie Pearson Natalie Pearson	says:
Firstly I'd like to thank Marie and her team so much for giving me an amazing ARC for Delirious Wow what an honour Obviously I won't be posting any spoilers for this book as it's not released yet but what I can say is your in for a treat I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book I literally couldn't put it down I probably felt every emotion It's so well written Marie has done it again This is book 6 in the uantum novels and I think it's one of my favourites so far I'd recommend you read all of the other books before you read this if you haven't already although it probably can be read as a standalone This book has a HEA it is Aileen and Kristians storyI enjoyed discovering about these characters We first met Aileen early on in the series when her son was in Natalie's class We also discover she's seriously ill with breast cancer and Flynn and Natalie step up to help her and her two children uite uickly her and her children become loved by all of the uantum family Kristian is also part of the family at uantum being an executive producer Both kristian and Aileen have back stories who make them who they are I loved their journey to each other and there remarkable chemistry What I love about this book is it's eually as HOT as the others but it manages to portray a wonderful love story with a tease of BDSMYou'll also enjoy catching up with all the other characters from the series too that's what I love about Marie's books she always keeps us up to date If you need a sexy new romance to read this is it I promise you won't be disappointed However be prepared to finish it in one sitting you'll be hooked from page 1 I can't wait for the next one Who will be next do we think?
Kate Kate	says:
The heroine behaved like a love struck fool I felt that I was back in school with the crush that she had going on with the Hero The Hero behaved like a douche IMO it can't be read as a standalone The aspect of BDSM and Hollywood for some reason for me didn't mesh well together

Siobhan Davis Siobhan Davis	says:
An emotional erotic romance about second chances and the power of love family and friendships With a wonderful cast of supporting characters a captivating movie industry setting a scorching hot leading man and a strong inspirational heroine Delirious was a wonderful read and one I can recommendThis is the first book I have read in this series and while it has most definitely piued my interest in the other characters you can read this as a standalone and not feel like you are missing out on too much Kristian was complex and layered and hiding a secret from his past When it was revealed his controlling nature and lack of trust in relationships made sense I loved that he was eventually able to overcome it for the right woman I also adored how great he was with Aileen's children and those scenes in particular warmed my heartAileen was a true inspiration She was still recovering from her cancer ordeal but she didn't dwell on it and she wasn't whiny and looking for sympathy Instead she got on with her life and she was ballsy after her brush with potential death I really loved her personality She wasn't afraid to tell Kristian how she felt and she was a fantastic motherWhile this is an erotic romance it wasn't as steamy as some of the erotic romances I've read However I had no issue with that It's of an observation The story also had plenty of meat on it's bones ie it wasn't just all about the sxThe supporting characters were fantastic and I'm definitely salivating at the prospect of checking out the earlier books in the series From the details in this book it sounds like each couple has a very interesting background and I'm intriguedThere are a few reasons this isn't a five star read Initially I found it very difficult to get into this story There is a huge amount of inner monologue at the start which then became very repetitive and it wasn't holding my interest However I'm glad I stuck with it as after the first uarter I became hooked and it kept my attention the rest of the way through The other thing that niggled at me a little was how perfect her children were and the underlying insinuation that you are only a good mother if you have raised these model children Apart from a minor strop in the car these children were way too well behaved I would have liked them to act up a little so it was realistic I imagine they were harboring lots of confusing feelings over their mother's illness and the fact a man has come into their lives but it didn't seem to impact them enough Overall though this was a great read and a great introduction for me to his author and this seriesThanks to the author and Inkslinger PR for providing an ARC of this book which I am voluntarily reviewingThis review will appear on my blog on 12th September

Angular is a popular framework for building cross-platform applications. JetBrains Rider provides support for Angular and helps you on every step of the development process – from creating a new Angular app and working on the components to debugging and testing it.
To open an application that is organized in the directory structure and does not have a solution file, press Ctrl+O or choose File | Open | Open... from the main menu, and then specify the root folder of the application.
The list of packages that can be installed with ng add is available on GitHub.
In projects that use Angular CLI 6 or higher, you can use the Angular Dependency action to add new libraries. This action runs the ng add command which installs the dependency and updates the app with a special installation script. Note that not all libraries support installation with ng add.
Select File | New on the main menu or press Ctrl+N in the Project tool window, and then select Angular Dependency.
From the list, select the library to add. The list shows the libraries that can be definitely installed with np add. To install a package that is not on the list, scroll to its end and double-click the Install package not listed above link, then specify the package name in the dialog that opens.
The example below illustrates adding Angular Material to a project.
If you manage dependencies manually through your package.json, JetBrains Rider still recognizes packages that support ng add. When you add such package to package.json, JetBrains Rider suggests installing it with ng add.
If such dependency is already installed, you may still want to reinstall it with ng add. In the package.json file, select the name of the package, press Alt+Enter, and click Reinstall with ng add.
Select the TypeScript Language Service checkbox and then select or clear the Angular Language Service checkbox.
Navigation between a component or an attribute and its declaration (F12 or Go To | Declaration on the context menu).
Open the built-in JetBrains Rider Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+1) and type npm install --save @angular/material at the command prompt. For details, see Getting Started on the Angular Material official website.

The internet age has revolutionised the porn business. On televisions, laptops and mobile phones, porn is increasingly accessible and free to view for all. How has this 'Porn Revolution' shaped young peoples' nascent ideas and expectations of love, sex and relationships?
We follow a group of teenagers who, with unflinching honesty and realism, reflect on the influence of porn on their lives. Has it changed their sexual tastes and behaviours? What are the differences between boys and girls in their approach to porn? What is the effect of the porn industry's move into ever more hardcore scenes?
With exclusive behind the scenes access to the stars and directors at the centre of the international porn industry in LA and Budapest, Love and Sex in an Age of Pornography provides intimate insights into all sides of the porn industry - from the gritty details of porn's production to its effects on curious youngsters - exposing the bare reality behind the fantasy.

I like the View Box plan, personally. It comes in a few different versions ranging from 1397 to 1575 square feet, and two bedrooms/one bathroom to two bedrooms/two bathrooms. FreeGreen provides interior and exterior renderings, floor plans, energy features, and energy performance information based on computer simulations. Download the plan, order prints for $40, get customization services, or see how much the home is estimated to cost to construct.
It has been commonly held that you get what you pay for, and that, generally speaking, price is correlated with quality. But FreeGreen is kind of testing these ideas — they certainly get you started with a lot of information; however, every site is different and every location has different rules. Local or custom help on the front end might save some money later on.
Of note, FreeGreen has just launched an open source area on their website for architects to sell their home plans for whatever cost they choose. There's a healthy market for green home plans growing over there, and if you're on the hunt for something like this, I'd keep your eye on it.
thanks for this link… I'm salivating over the Smart Box plan. Very compact, efficient, lots of daylight. In a non-dirtball kind of way, it got me inspired to spruce up a mobile home into something similar!
If I didn't have to drive to work, I'd love to live in a house on a hill like this. Tightly planned with good looks, I agree, this is a nice looking house plan.
would be very interested in plans 1000 plus.
I love this desgin as well. i suppose you have to buy plans for these units. Does anyone sell them prebuilt? And what would be the cost of a model like the one above?

Film Review: Species III (2004)
Jesse 02/10/2019	Uncategorized
Sara (Sunny Mabrey), the daughter of Eve (Natasha Henstridge) begins her mission to mate with humans, while a specialist military team hunt her down to kill her before its too late.
Horror movies attempt to tap into the insecurity of viewers. Outside forces like serial killers and supernatural beings that use a sense of helplessness to get to a person's psyche. Another method is to go for the instinctual behavior that makes a character act a certain way, which the audience can relate to. This second one is the more interesting kind of horror because it means that the victims are partially responsible for the horrific events. They got themselves into the situation through their own dumb choices.
A subgenre of self-inflicted horror is a group of horror movies that are metaphors for sexually transmitted diseases. One of the more popular franchises of this horror type is the Species franchise which was founded on the premise of using sex for scares. There were aliens involved, but it was sex that led to most of deaths in the franchise. The first movie was about stopping an alien/human hybrid from reproducing because if the species spread, it would be the death of the human race. The second movie repeated this concept. It is a science fiction way of presenting an epidemic that could destroy humanity, making the disease an alien. With the epidemic spreading through sex, it was the equivalent of a debilitating sexually transmitted disease.
Species III, released on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2004, and quickly followed by a DVD release, followed the story of the first two without repeating it. Unlike its predecessors, Species III followed the final days of the disease. It was more about the destruction of the aliens than preventing them from spreading. Those two things may seem similar, but there is a large difference between them. The disease was no longer strong. It had been weakened. The alien hybrids were dying throughout the movie. The third installment was no longer about containment, instead shifting the focus to the future and how to completely remove the aliens from the environment.
That change in focus does not necessarily mean that Species III was a good movie. It was a direct-to-video movie from the early 2000s and suffered from many of the issues of similar movies. The video quality wasn't great, the performances were less than stellar, and the story was kind of messy. It began immediately after the second film, giving a recap of the two previous movies, getting a few details wrong. The opening scene featured Natasha Henstridge who was under contract to be in the third movie. She died during birth and the movie followed her daughter and the man who took care of her, Dr. Abbot (Robert Knepper).
The storyline of Species III was a little strange. While Dr. Abbot was taking care of the alien girl, whose name would become Sara (Savanna Fields for the younger version, Sunny Mabrey for the older version), other alien/human hybrids were trying to find a way to survive. Their alien half was growing sick from the viruses on Earth and their species was dying out. They went after Dr. Abbot, his assistant Dean (Robin Dunne), and Sara in order to find a cure.
The hybrids were a representation of a dying disease. There was a moment early in Species III where characters discussed the end of smallpox, as the disease was scheduled to be completely destroyed in the CDC. It complemented the realization that the alien hybrids were dying out. Revelations later in the movie helped to reinforce this theme as the alien species was practically rendered extinct. The story was the expiration of the species, though another sequel was released.
Species III was the weakest installment in the series up to that point. It tried to do something different with the story, and it mostly worked. However, there were problems in every other aspect. The acting, direction, and direct-to-video feel of the movie could not support the interesting story extension. At the base level, there was something interesting in Species III that went wrong in the execution. It was a watchable movie, but it was bad.

After dealing with the horrible water, among other things (broken fridge door handle, etc.), at our Florida rental home I couldn't wait to contact Great Ocean Condos and let them know how unhappy we were. I didn't take my computer on vacation – I don't work while I am on break, but the first time we went back to my son's house to do laundry I used his computer to shoot a letter to the rental agency, and I told them how disgusting I thought the place was. They ended up refunding $75 to my credit card. That's it! For putting up with lousy water a week. And we left a day early because of it. Fortunately I had some place else to go – my son's house.
In my e-mail to GreatOceanCondos I also mentioned that I planned to review the place with photos, which is what I have done here on my blog that gets 200-300 views a day, in hopes that no one else will fall for the photos and description of a less than idyllic place, because it's also available to rent by the month in winter.
We didn't let the water issue totally ruin our fun. We went to the beach, visited old friends, and enjoyed the Florida atmosphere. We even rented a boat and cruised the river one day. We'll go back and rent next year, but I will never use Great Ocean Condos again. They are based in Altamonte Springs which is way inland, so how often do they ever see the places they rent out? Their lack of sending upfront info bothers me. I think I will stick with VRBO and deal directly with owners when renting from now on.
Next year… rental review #2… hope it's about a really great place.
Yeah, that sounds pretty crummy! Thanks for the heads up! I stayed (for years) at the same condo complex on Waikiki Beach. Every year the condos seemed to go down hill more and more. -Same complex, different condo- The last one was so bad that I won't go back. Still, I'm leery of using an out-of-network owner. I was thinking of using homeaway.com. Do you know anything about them? They seem to be a pretty big network.
I've always used VRBO in the past and have stayed in some wonderful places. I don't know much about homeaway.com. Maybe someone will chime in. I can't imagine people thinking for a minute that they should rent out such a nasty place as this – owners or agency. Thanks Jody!
